Glenwood Springs – During an interview about his new bike shop, MG Cycle and Sport owner Mike Gettinger took a few minutes out to help a customer who promised to wear his shop’s jersey in Ride the Rockies this week.

Penny Polowchena of Glenwood Springs said it is her third time for Ride The Rockies, and she was at MG Cycle and Sport for a quick tune-up, new handlebar tape and a check of the spokes on one wheel.

After Polowchena left the shop, promising to return to pick up her bike and her MG Cycles and Sport jersey, Gettinger cited her as an example of the attention to customer needs that he hopes will set his shop apart from others in town.

“It’s the interaction with people that I didn’t really get in the other bike shops in Glenwood,” he maintained, noting that he has worked at other shops in the valley before starting his own.

Gettinger, 51, opened his shop two months ago at 715 Cooper Ave., the former home of Glenwood Music.

“We’re not an über high-end shop,” he said of his store. “We’re just a bike shop. We don’t dabble in skis, or in this and that.”

The Denver Sheriff Department mishandled the investigation into the 2015 death of inmate Michael Marshall, and public safety officials made such flawed disciplinary decisions that it failed to hold accountable the deputies and sergeants involved, according to a new report by Denver's police watchdog.

250 people -- all homeless and high-frequency users of jail, detox and emergency departments at taxpayer expense -- have been tracked down by Colorado Coalition for the Homeless and Mental Health Center of Denver outreach workers and given apartments through Denver's social-impact bond program.

At least two people were injured in another explosion in Texas' capital Sunday night, after three package bombs detonated earlier this month in other parts of the city and killed two people and injured two others.
